“Take Action Now” gives you three meaningful actions you can take each week whatever your schedule. This week, you can sign up for text alerts on actions to defend immigrants, write to a corporation that profits off of President Trump’s agenda, and organize your own protest to highlight the stories of those who would lose their health care under a repeal of the Affordable Care Act or cuts to Medicaid. You can sign up for “Take Action Now” here.

NO TIME TO WASTE

This is a simple thing you can do today to set yourself up for more involved action in the future: Sign up for United We Dream’s #HeretoStay network. By joining the network, you pledge to sign petitions, make phone calls, and physically show up when immigrants in your community need you. The organizers behind #HeretoStay will help by sending you text alerts on campaigns to stop deportations and fight for immigrants’ rights. You can sign up here or by texting HereToStay to 877877.

GOT SOME TIME?

Write a letter to a corporation profiting from President Trump’s hateful agenda. The Trump administration cannot pursue its agenda of vilifying and attacking immigrants on its own. Make the Road New York and the Center for Popular Democracy launched the Corporate Backers of Hate campaign to draw attention to and pressure companies that help—either by financing detention centers or private prisons or sitting on Trump’s business council—and they are asking people across the country to write personal letters to these companies. Many of their recent efforts have focused on JP Morgan Chase; CEO Jamie Dimon sits on Trump’s business council and the company finances immigrant-detention centers and private prison companies. You can write a letter to JP Morgan and Jamie Dimon here.

READY TO DIG IN?

Organize and host your own health-care event for the July 29 Our Lives On the Line day of action. Even as we celebrate the defeat of the latest iteration of Trumpcare, we cannot forget that politicians were willing to vote to take away our care—and that they could do it again. That’s why on Saturday, July 29, people across the United States will gather to share their stories as part of a massive nationwide day of action to lift the voices of the millions of Americans who would lose their health care if we repealed the Affordable Care Act or cut Medicaid. If there’s no event near you yet (you can find them all here), sign up here to host your own. There are directions to help you out on the Our Lives On the Line website.

Be part of 160 years of confronting power 


Every day,
The Nation exposes the administration’s unchecked and reckless abuses of power through clear-eyed, uncompromising independent journalism—the kind of journalism that holds the powerful to account and helps build alternatives to the world we live in now. 

We have just the right people to confront this moment. Speaking on Democracy Now!, Nation DC Bureau chief Chris Lehmann translated the complex terms of the budget bill into the plain truth, describing it as “the single largest upward redistribution of wealth effectuated by any piece of legislation in our history.” In the pages of the June print issue and on The Nation Podcast, Jacob Silverman dove deep into how crypto has captured American campaign finance, revealing that it was the top donor in the 2024 elections as an industry and won nearly every race it supported.

This is all in addition to The Nation’s exceptional coverage of matters of war and peace, the courts, reproductive justice, climate, immigration, healthcare, and much more.

Our 160-year history of sounding the alarm on presidential overreach and the persecution of dissent has prepared us for this moment. 2025 marks a new chapter in this history, and we need you to be part of it.

We’re aiming to raise $20,000 during our June Fundraising Campaign to fund our change-making reporting and analysis. Stand for bold, independent journalism and donate to support The Nation today.

Onward,
